Friday Five : Yankee Candle Edition

Happy Friday! This past week I got 10lbs of candles in the mail. It was, quite literally, a haul. Yankee Candle had a 'Buy Two Get Two Free' (a.k.a. 'two' good 'two' pass up) deal on their large jar candles. I'm always happy to add new Yankee Candles to my collection. I like that the candles are made in the USA and, as a former New
Englander, the brand name makes me smile. The jars are pretty klutz
proof (I had a recent misadventure where I
blew out the flames of a different candle and ended up splattering
adherent micro-droplets everywhere... oops), which is good for me too.

I chose two new holiday collection Yankee Candles: Pinecone and Lime and Peppermint Bark (as seen on Instagram). I also picked up two regular collection staples: Midnight Jasmine and Fresh Cut Roses. My new holiday candles have already gotten a lot of love. Their scents are the perfect complement to our new Christmas Tree; plus, there's nothing like the flicker of warm candlelight on a cold winter night! On that glowy note, here are five posts that brought a sparkle to my eye this week:
